Phantom 4 pro V2 / Samsung Active s2 / Jerky flight
hello,
Tried to fly a mapping mission today as my first test flight. The entire mission was a series of micro-adjustments from approach to completion. I've read the FAQ on jerky flights and I don't see anything that leaps out at me. I have a normal sized drone, recent-ish hardware and the wind was low, at around 1-2m/s. I flew the mission at 16kph, which is similar to the DJI Pilot app settings I use normally. Any suggestions?
I've got a P4Pro V2 and I've tried both the CrystalSky and Samsung Active S2 I have at my disposal. I am looking for an all in one solution and was hoping Dronelink was it. I don't want to go back to DJI Pilot for mapping and Litchi for media. For the record, those apps were force closed. Only Dronelink was running on the tablets.
Any help would be appreciated!

A few questions:
FWIW, the CrystalSky is hopelessly underpowered and old - it is effectively a 6 year-old Android tablet.

I know all about the crystalsky's shortcomings but I work in extreme temps and IOS devices don't suffice.
So basically what your reply says is that there's a narrow band of software and hardware that this will work on. Shame, I loved the.planning portion it had such potential. Back to Litchi I go.
I don't think it is fair to say that Dronelink only supports a narrow band of devices because it doesn't work well on a 6-year old device. We do not hide the fact that Dronelink requires more resources than other apps that upload waypoints. FWIW, we are planning to eventually implement Onboard Compatibility to optimize for both disconnection and lower performance device usage.
The Samsung tablet I wanted to use is well within the system requirements you list. I only mentioned the crystal sky because the flight behaviors with both were identical.
I think it is worth trying the latest release (2.1.0). We put a lot of effort into making it better on Android.
